The royal family may be steeped in history and tradition, but it's ahead of the curve when it comes to being green.

Prince Charles's eco-warrior status is well documented. A keen advocate of sustainable living, he hosted a 12-day garden party last summer to promote it.

So it's no surprise the green revolution has spread to his son. Prince Will and Kate have already made "green" part of the planning of their upcoming wedding.

ABC News spoke to marine scientist and former "eco-bride" Stephanie Wear to get some tips.

"I've been really excited to hear about the possibility of a green wedding for Wlliam and Kate," said Wear. "We're hoping that they will make visible green choices in their wedding which will inspire others to do the same."
